rEvanston Association Buys Lot on Lincoln StreetEvanston Community Recreation association officials have purchased a lot on Lincoln street near Ridge ave-r|nue where they will erect a clubhouse to be ready next year, according to the statement of C. M. Cartwright, president of the Recreation association, today.“This year the Recreation association will lose the territory it has been using as a golf course west of the right-of-way of the drainage canal,” said Mr. Cartwright in commenting on the recent opening of the golf links as a subdivision by a real estate company. “This leaves us the 16th hole, immediately west of the drainage canal, situated at Centralstreet. We will have for the playing season of 1922 all- the territory east of the canal, including the ifrop-erty on which the present clubhouse stands.“This season will be the last that the Recreation association will have this property. However, we haveN^g lease to the right-of-way of the drainage canal from Emerson street north to the Wilmette boundary. We will have ready for playing this .season the seven new holes constructed on both sides of the canal between Central street and the Chicago Northwestern tracks.“We have acquired from the WTt mette Park board the right-of-way of the canal between Maple avenue in Wilmette and Linden avenue. This will give us splendid additional territory. We are just completing arrangements with the Wilmette Park district to secure further ground east of the canal between Linden avenue and Sheridan road. This will be ready for the playing season next year.“When we have to abandon all the property we have leased outside the right-of-way of the canal, we will have 18 holes reaching from Sheridan road in Wilmette to the Chicago Northwestern tracks in Evanston,” said Mr. Cartwright. “The Evanston Community Recreation association naturally regrets that it has to abandon the very excellent playing course of the Evanston Golf club, but it will have permanent grounds along the right-of-way of the drainage canal, giving it 18 holes.”
